Richard, back in the late 60's and early 70's we did the same thing with the VW's. The problem we had was that the ignition coils would fry. even if we used a 12V coil with a condenser, we could plan on a replacement at least once every few days.
... I really did not realize that there was so much 24 volt stuff available for inside the house part of the bus. I will research the appliances and all the other parts i need for inside.
